Maintaining a healthy microbiome is significant for overall well-being. A diverse microbiome supports the gut's role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. It influences metabolism and can affect body weight regulation. A balanced microbiome can also produce beneficial short-chain fatty acids and synthesize vitamins. Health factors like diet, exercise, and stress impact microbial diversity; thus, focusing on a fiber-rich diet and probiotic intake can enhance microbiome health, contributing to improved physical and mental health outcomes.
